Sandbox: Apply now!

The Sandbox is a separate test server, where developers, together with players, will be working on the new vehicle balance of World of Tanks.

The testing on the sandbox server will start this summer. We can’t reveal all the details yet, but you will for sure be able to see entirely new roles for vehicles, including SPGs.

What are the entry criteria?

Not everyone will receive the access to this test server. The criteria for choosing participants will depend on the specific stage of testing but the main objective will be to invite active players who are interested in providing their feedback in order to improve the game.

How do I know that my application was approved?

Players who have been granted access to the test server will be informed via the following sources:

An email to your mailbox linked to your account

Notification in the game client

We will need some time for processing the applications and evaluation of the number of invited participants.

I’m no skilled player. I’m not a stats perfectionist. Heck, I don’t play for stats. I play this game to have fun, because I love tanks. I love driving them and pulling off stuff I hear in tanker war stories. I love using in game chat to joke around with my team and enemy team while playing. I love the sporadic nature of the game as a whole. And I doubt I’ll end up in any tests, but if what they say in the video is true, and their intention is to make the game more fun to play, I’m all for the idea of things like this sandbox, and it’s showing us that WG at least has the drive to try and make it better instead of sitting there applying more micro patches over a broken system hoping for a eureka moment one day. I mean, the game right now isn’t AS bad as many say it to me imo, but it does require a lot to make this game more than the game I’ll come back to simply because I always have and like to hope for a fun match once in a while.
Only time will tell for sure, but I have my hopes up!
